After temporarily deploying to a spare SQL server to test for implementation with sharepoint, we've returned the settings to how they were but now I get this error when trying to deploy reports from Visual Studio. Any ideas anyone?Any help greatly appreciated.TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer------------------------------ A connection could not be made to the report server http://mvfsvrsql/reports. ------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.The request failed with the error message:--<html> <head> <title>Runtime Error</title> <style> body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:black;} p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-top: -5px} b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-top: -5px} H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;color:red } H2 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:14pt;color:maroon } pre {font-family:"Lucida Console";font-size: .9em} .marker {font-weight: bold; color: black;text-decoration: none;} .version {color: gray;} .error {margin-bottom: 10px;} .expandable { text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; } </style> </head> <body bgcolor="white"> <span><H1>Server Error in '/Reports' Application.<hr width=100% size=1 color=silver></H1> <h2> <i>Runtime Error</i> </h2></span> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, SunSans-Regular, sans-serif "> <b> Description: </b>An application error occurred on the server.

Hi Jonnythedrum, According to the log, it seems that you have set the TargetServerURL to be http://mvfsvrsql/reports. The correct TargetServerURL is http://mvfsvrsql/reportserver. The report server is the central component of a Reporting Services installation. It consists of a pair of core processors plus a collection of special-purpose extensions that handle authentication, data processing, rendering, and delivery operations. Processors are the hub of the report server. It points to http://localhost/reportserver The Report Manager is a Web-based report access and management tool that you use to administer a single report server instance from a remote location over an HTTP connection.It points to http://localhost/reports If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks, JinJin Chen - MSFT
